First, it would have to be someone from the JLA's past-- he attacked the Tornado Twins (guess DC ISN'T forgetting them, Jerry) because he had a grudge against the Flash. Since the Flash is now dead... None of the other "targetted" heroes' relatives are descended from any of the "new" JLA. In fact, Hawkman is (I believe) the only one of the "begrudged" heroes that wasn't an original member. Second, it would have to be someone with a desire for immortality and a penchant for creating powerful robots. Of the early (and long-time) JLA foes, Prof. Ivo is the only one who springs to mind with an obsession about immortality. Recall in his first appearance, he created Amazo to steal various long-lived animals in order to learn the "secret of longevity". While Ivo's recent appearances are somewhat blurred in my memory, Amazo alone could represent "creating powerful robots". Other possibilities could include T. O. Morrow (not necessarily known for robots alone but for "future" technology in general) and Hector Hammond (immortal but not "into" robots). SJBerry ..!ihnp4!hou2g!scott
